[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57865] Builtin is not calling the built in version

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57865 (project octave):

Octave's 'builtin' function is closer to 'feval' than Matlab's is.

If we change the 'builtin' function to be Matlab compatible, then some
functions may raise an error because they are interpreted m-file functions
instead of compiled built-in functions.

Keeping the current behavior of 'builtin' seems like the best option to me, so
that we can keep functions written as m-files and have them work with the
'builtin' function.

I'd resolve this as a known incompatibility.
